How Did Jordan Miller and Isaiah Wong Perform In The Summer League?
After getting draft last month to the Los Angeles Clippers and Indiana Pacers, Jordan Miller and Isaiah Wong were able to get their first taste at the NBA level with the NBA2K24 Summer League.
While their debuts were on different spectrums, their end production was an opposite of how they started. Here's how Miller and Wong faired during the NBA2K24 Summer League:
Jordan Miller - Los Angeles Clippers
Stats (Five Games Played): 6.8 PPG | 3.8 RPG | 2.8 APG | 1.2 SPG | 43.8 FG% | 30.0 3PT% | 60.0 FT%
It was Miller who started the Summer League off on a high note, as he posted an efficient 12 points to go with four rebounds and four assists in his debut game against the Utah Jazz. However, that 12 point performance would be the only double-digit scoring effort from Miller in Vegas. Regardless, his debut game was the only one where Miller wasn't a net positive in the plus/minus, as he was constantly impacting winning basketball.
In terms of what to take away from his five games in Vegas, Miller will certainly need to focus on improving his three point shot ahead of the start of the season. He shot two for four from range in his debut, but didn't make another three until his final game. However, Miller will more than likely start the season in the G-League with the Clippers having a plethora of veterans and championship aspirations.
Isaiah Wong - Indiana Pacers
Stats (Five Games Played): 11.8 PPG | 1.4 RPG | 2.6 APG | 0.4 BPG | 45.2 FG% | 40.0 3PT% | 68.4 FT%
While he did come off the bench in his first two games in Vegas, it was not looking great for the reigning ACC Player of the Year after two games. His debut saw him post six points and six personal fouls, and followed it up with another six point game. However after Indiana decided to end the Summer League for a few of their more talented players, Wong slid into the starting lineup and showed why he was one of the top players in the nation last season.
Wong would post 17 and 24 point games during his three games in the starting lineup, and putting on a shooting display from behind the arc. Regarding Wong's take aways from Vegas, he will need to continue to work on his playmaking. Wong has shown he is able to create for himself and others in the pick and roll, but needs to see what he can do beyond that. While Wong will likely start in the G-League as well, the current state of the Pacers allows room for him to make the rotation earlier than Miller.
